The Apocalypse is a quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
[edit] Quick walkthrough
- Go to the missile control panel and launch the missiles at the NCR, Legion, or both.
- Leave Ulysses' Temple.
[edit] Detailed walkthrough
This quest appears after you deal with Ulysses and decide the fate of the nuclear missiles at the temple. You have three options presented: send the missiles to NCR territory (mainly the Long 15), nuke Legion territoy (mostly Dry Wells or divvy the payloads and send them at both regions. Choosing any option other than canceling the launch begins this quest and fails The End. After choosing your target, run for the temple's exit. The endings will play after exiting. Upon returning to the Mojave after the ending slides, a nuclear explosion can be seen in the general vicinity of whichever territory was targeted (or both, if you chose to nuke both Legion and NCR).
- If you complete the quest before entering The Tops for the first time your reputation will be reset once speaking to Vulpes Inculta, meaning you can still secure a positive reputation with the Legion after targeting them.
- If you complete the quest before visiting the Lucky 38 for the first time, after you exit the casino main door, an NCR Trooper will come to you and notifies that Ambassador Crocker wants to talk to you. After this event, your NCR reputation will be reset, meaning you can still secure a positive reputation with the NCR after targeting them.
- Both The Apocalypse and The End have the same rewards. The only difference in rewards is the addition of the player gaining access to the Long 15 or Dry Wells (or both), and their subsequent loot. Nuking both yields the most (potential) reward.
